Sadly, it takes an executive order from our president to stop the repeated violations of Americans’ First Amendment rights to freedom of religion. In laymen’s terms, no government is permitted to persecute or punish any American or organization simply because of their religious beliefs.

Those of us who’ve chosen to serve in the military to defend this “land of the free and home of the brave” didn’t foresee that those sacrificed on the altar of freedom are forgotten and our beloved America is disappearing into a Socialist wasteland!

I may say again, evil thrives when good men and women choose to remain silent and do nothing.

Check the Congressional scorecards of our elected officials and next election drain the swamp.
